Agnew has taken up his own defense against allegations that he accepted political kickbacks. And Agnew insists he will not resign. Meanwhile, a federal grand jury which since January has been investigating political corruption in Maryland went back into session in Baltimore this morning, although federal prosecutors would not say whether Agnew was the subject of the session.

One of the prosecutors told a U.S. marshal outside the grand jury room that no indictments were expected today. Breaking a self imposed silence that lasted less than 48 hours, Agnew called newsmen together Wednesday to denounce assertions that he accepted kickbacks of $1,000 a week while governor of Maryland and a payment of $50,000 from one contractor after becoming vice president. have no intention to be skewered in this fashion and since I have no intention to be so shewered, I have called this press conference to label as false and scurrilous and malicious these rumors, these assertions and accusations that are being Agnew said.

Republican fundraising efforts also are involved. Asked if he was unequivocally denying the kickback charges, Agnew replied: am denying them outright, and I am labeling them and I think a person in my position at a time like this might be permitted this departure from normal language as damned In fielding a wide range of questions about the probe, Agnew also said: He will not resign, nor will he even step aside on a temporary basis while the investigation is going on.

If and when the Baltimore investigation goes to a grand jury, he will decide then whether to appear before it. Agnew said he had decided to tn'eak his silence on the charges because of defamatory statements being leaked to the news media by what he said the press characterized as sources to the federal One particular target of displeasure appeared to be a Baltimore County (Turn To AGNEW Page 12).
